ABOUT THE KING BAUDOUIN FOUNDATION

The King Baudouin Foundation is an independent public benefit foundation.The mission of the King Baudouin Foundation is clear and at the same time wide-ranging: to help to improve living conditions for the population. In its 1976 Constitution the Foundation is described as "an independent structure that encourages original ideas and sets up new projects." The King Baudouin Foundation supports projects and citizens who are committed to create a better society. In this way we can make a lasting contribution towards greater justice, democracy and respect for diversity. The Foundation works on an independent and pluralistic basis. This is also guaranteed by the diverse backgrounds of our Board of Governors and our 60 staff. We respect diversity and strive towards quality, transparency and integrity. The Foundation focuses on specific themes and is based in Brussels, but also supports projects far beyond the borders of Belgium and Europe. By working together with a range of different organizations we aim to harmonize our own mission as effectively as possible with the efforts made by others.

ABOUT SPARK Spark develops education and entrepreneurship so that young and ambitious people are empowered to lead their post-conflict society into prosperity. We build the capacity of local economic and educational institutions so they can empower their own populations. Spark is an independent non-profit institution and was founded in 1994. It has field offices in Belgrade, Mitrovica, Pristina and Skopje and Spark-supported Business Start-up Centres in Bar, Bitola, Kragujevac, Pristina and Zenica. Our annual budget is over 4.5 million Euro and over 40 staff are employed in the field. Spark's quality management system is ISO 9001:2000 certified with certificate number QSC 554. SPARK cooperates with academic and economic institutions, as well as Ministries of Education, Ministries of Economic Affairs, and a large number of NGOs and student organisations across Europe. Key principles in our work are: a demand-driven approach that pinpoints the needs and priorities of local beneficiaries; the promotion of local ownership as precondition for sustainability; a society-oriented focus that ultimately benefits society as a whole; the support of long-term cross-regional and international cooperation processes SPARK has developed projects in various parts of South East Europe, including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, FYROM, Montenegro, and Serbia. Since 2004, Afghanistan, Liberia and the Palestinian Territories are the focus of new project ideas. Since 1996, SPARK has initiated and supported regional academic summer universities in Tuzla, Pristina, Mitrovica and in FYROM. In total around 6,000 students from SEE have collected over 300 years of European Study Credits (ECTS). Other projects include, business start-up support for youth, business skills training and employability activities and the introduction of ECTS at universities in Bosnia & Herzegovina and FYROM. In 2009 SPARK will open a European College for Business Administration and Public Administration in Mitrovica.

PREFACE Higher education and science will play a crucial role for Western Balkan countries in their accession to and association with the EU. The transition of these countries – many of them new states on their way towards market oriented democracies with strong civil societies – will require a highly qualified workforce and a changed mindset of the population, which needs to develop a new sense of belonging and a spirit of ownership and responsibility. Education will be the key into developing the resources available to contribute to the integration of local higher education systems into the European Higher Education Area, by increasing both the interest of students from the Western Balkans in studying abroad and the EU to support these students to do so. A study by the King Baudouin Foundation, 'Student mobility in Western Balkan countries' highlighted the key problems that exist with Western Balkan student mobility into EU member state and EFTA countries. Of the students interviewed that would not consider study abroad, 51% cited insufficient money as a very important reason. Similarly, even when students were considering studying abroad, 62.4% answered that not finding enough money was a big problem. Students were asked to indicate what aspects could be improved. Of those considering study abroad, 81.4% suggested more scholarships. For students not considering study abroad, 58.6% responded that 'good and sufficient scholarships' was one of the main conditions to consider studying abroad. In the study the majority of students interviewed would consider applying for a scholarship to study abroad. However, only one in three respondees knew that scholarship opportunities exist. If then asked in detail about European scholarships, less than 10% were aware of any specific European scholarship and mobility scheme. For example, only 2.4% of respondees had sufficient knowledge about the Erasmus or Erasmus Mundus programmes to be able to apply. Based on these findings, the King Baudouin Foundation undertook research into scholarship opportunities that exist in EU member state and EFTA countries for Western Balkan students. Those research results are presented in this handbook and will later be available for all Western Balkan students as an online tool in late autumn 2009. The handbook contains available study opportunities for Western Balkan students and aims to better inform students from the Western Balkans about available opportunities, scholarships and stipends. The information provided in this handbook is the result of research conducted within Western Balkan countries and EU Member States. Questionnaires devised by the King Baudouin Foundation, the Czech EU Presidency and SPARK were sent to different Higher Education stakeholders. From March – April 2009 SPARK field office liaison officers in South East Europe conducted interviews and completed the questionnaires. In the process of acquiring information, liaison officers contacted EU Member State Embassies in South East Europe and their respective educational agencies (such as DAAD, British Council, French Cultural Centres, Swedish Institute and Cooperazione Italiana), the Ministries of Education and Science and university international offices in Western Balkan countries, foreign foundations and civil society organisations, higher education institutions in EU Member States and the field offices of the EU Delegation, who founded educational programmes such as Tempus, Erasmus Mundus, Basileus and CEEPUS. Besides contacting the above mentioned organisations, much information was collected through the websites of NGOs who work with higher education in the Western Balkans. The research results are presented in this handbook and provide an overview of existing scholarships and stipends. This handbook is an attempt to provide complete information about scholarships opportunities for Western Balkan students and researchers in European Union Member State and EFTA countries. This would not have been possible without the great 4

help and support of the Czech Ministry of Education. Therefore, we would like to thank the Czech Ministry of Education for their help with developing the questionnaire and all of the Ministries of Education that took the time to reply to the questionnaire. This draft handbook should serve as a starting point for discussion at this conference, organized by Czech EU-Presidency. This handbook is the first phase of a project to create an online tool by the end of 2009. The online tool will allow students from South East Europe to browse scholarship opportunities in EU Member State countries by degree level, subject and/or country. The discussions and feedback from this conference will be used to define the final contents of the online tool and its functions.

DISCLAIMER The information provided in this handbook was compiled from data received in questionnaires completed by contacted institutions and organisations. If information is incomplete or missing, please contact the King Baudouin Foundation or SPARK. The information of the overall available scholarships by country and total number of scholarships may differ as some scholarships are offered as a consortium of different Universities in more than one country and have therefore been listed as separate scholarships. Furthermore, some scholarships are offered to students from specific Western Balkan countries (e.g. FYROM, Serbia and Montenegro) and have therefore been counted in the overall table as scholarships offered in each country separately.

PART II: ERASMUS MUNDUS, BASILEUS, CEEPUS and other EU coordinated scholarship initiatives

219

ERASMUS MUNDUS SCHOLARSHIPS The Erasmus Mundus programme is a new higher education co-operation and mobility programme designed to promote the European Union as a centre of excellence in learning around the world. Its main objectives consist in strengthening European cooperation and international ties in the sphere of higher education by supporting European top-quality Masters courses. Students and young researchers from all over the world are offered the opportunity of postgraduate education at European universities. A complete list of programmes, which Russian students and professors can apply for, is available on the websites: www.ec.europa.eu/education/ programmes/mundus/projects (in English) How to apply Courses at the Masters level are open to graduate students who have already completed a university degree course of at least three years’ duration. There are presently no thematic restrictions or favoured subject areas for Erasmus Mundus Masters courses. All fields of study and disciplines are welcome: please look through the list of available Masters courses. An integrated study programme offered by an Erasmus Mundus Masters consortium has the following features: Joint criteria for admission and examination: Students should be able to apply to a single programme with common standards for admission, a common application procedure and a joint student selection process. Examinations passed at one institution of the consortium are automatically and fully recognised by the other institutions of the consortium. Course integration: Provision of a jointly developed curriculum or full recognition by the Erasmus Mundus Masters Consortium of courses developed and taught separately but that make up a single standard course. Mobility: Students study in at least two of the three institutions participating in the consortium. Potential students must know the sequence of study periods in the various hosting institutions and the various mobility combinations when they apply for the course. In a consortium of three partners (A, B and C), mobility combinations would normally be A+B, A+C, B+C and A+B+C. Guaranteed award of a recognized joint, double, or multiple degree upon graduation. A double degree is the minimum award. A double or multiple degree is defined as two or more national diplomas issued officially by two or more institutions involved in an integrated study programme. A joint degree is defined as a single diploma issued by at least two of the institutions offering an integrated study programme. The degrees are recognised in the countries where the degree-awarding institutions are located. An Erasmus Mundus Masters course carries between 60 and 120 ECTS credits at the Masters level. 60 to 120 ECTS credits correspond to courses lasting from one to two academic years. Erasmus Mundus Masters courses provide students with the possibility of using at least two European languages - spoken in the countries where the institutions offering the Erasmus Mundus Masters courses are located. However, the use of at least two languages does not mean the courses are taught in two different languages. Nor are the institutions obliged to use their national languages as the language of instruction, although they should have a clearly identifiable policy to promote the national language. This may include language training or other induction courses (e.g. “survival language” and cultural induction) regardless of the language of instruction. Funding Student mobility: €21,000 per student for a one-year course (10 study months x €1,600, plus a fixed amount of €5,000 for travel expenses, tuition fees, etc.), or €42,000 per student for a two year course. Grants are paid to students by the individual consortium. Scholars (academic staff) If you are a scholar (academic or professional) and you work at a higher education institution or at a research institute you may also contribute to and benefit from Erasmus Mundus. How to apply You can apply for a three-month scholarship to carry out scholarly work (teaching and/or research work) for a given Erasmus Mundus Masters course in Europe. You will work in one or more of the higher education institutions running the course of your choice. These scholarships are awarded to the best scholars on a competitive basis. You are invited to choose an Erasmus Mundus Masters course and apply directly to the course of your choice. 220

Funding Scholar mobility: €13,000 per scholar (3 months x €4,000, plus a fixed amount of €1,000 for travel expenses). Grants are paid to scholars by the individual consortium. Please note that scholars must provide their own insurance cover. Deadline for applications Applicants should submit their applications by the deadline set by the Erasmus Mundus Masters. Consortium they are applying to, using the application system of the Masters course in question and following all the relevant instructions given by the application system. It is necessary also to bear in mind that the consortia need time to make a decision on each grant. Students and scholars are advised to contact the coordinator of the course of their choice with any questions related to the course. ERASMUS MUNDUS EXTERNAL COOPERATION WINDOW The Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window (EMECW) is a new cooperation and mobility scheme launched by the European Commission for students and academic staff from outside the EU, including Russia. Russian higher education institutions (universities, academies, institutes), legally established, licensed and accredited by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and/or by the relevant services, can participate in EMECW consortia led by European higher education institutions. The grants cover: a) the organisational costs of mobility of higher education students and academic staff; b) the implementation costs of individual mobility of higher education students and academic staff. Selected Consortia At present the following three consortia of the EU and Russian universities have been selected to participate in the EMECW: 1. Iamonet-Ru – www.iamonet.de led by the Hohenheim University (Germany) 2. Integration, Interaction and Institutions (Triple I) – www.utu.fi/en/iii led by Turku University (Finland) 3. Multidisciplinary capacity-building for improved economic, political and university cooperation between the European Union and the Russian Federation – http://tu-dresden.de/ internationales/news/mundus_lot_russia led by Dresden Technical University (Germany) Partner Higher Educational Institutions from Russia: • Irkutsk State Technical University; • Ufa State Aviation Technical University; • Tomsk State Pedagogical University; • Omsk State Transport University; • North-west (St.Petersburg) Branch of Russian Law Academy; • State Technological University “Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys”; • Lipetsk State Technical University; • Moscow State University of Railway Engineering; • South Russia State Technical University; • Bauman Moscow State Technical University; • Ural State University of Economics; • Tomsk Polytechnic University.
